Oh the stress
Ironically, we've been talking about the effects of stress on the human body a lot in my Anatomy class.. I didn't expect to become a visual aide.
I feel like I should disclaimer this with the statement that I KNOW things could be worse and that people out there have it much harder than I do, but this is my blog, I need to vent any there's an "x" button in the upper right corner if it gets to be too much.
That being said... I've made it through school to Spring Break. That's right, spring semester is half over. Most classes are going well. I really messed up at the start of my semester with Sociology. Thanks to that fact, I've got extra work over Spring break. Here's my spring break school work run down:
1. Watch or read and write a play analysis over any Shakespearean play BUT Romeo and Juliet. (Due tonight)
2. Math test (due tomorrow)
3. Read two teacher written books, do one mandatory 30-page assignment over book one, and an extra credit paper each over both books. (All due 3/21)
4. An art analysis essay for Fine Arts Appreciation. (Due 3/19)
5. Make and study cards for Chapter 19 of Anatomy.
Good spring break, right?
Mom is also having pretty invasive back surgery on Tuesday of next week and will be out of commission indefinitely. My heart breaks for her. We were so hoping that she could do injection therapy or something similar, but it just wasn't an option.
Jeff is back at work, but still recovering from knee surgery. Kamden had pretty much adjusted to his medication now and we are learning what triggers he has regarding sensory issues. Today was pretty rough on him as we had several errands and appointments to attend to and the routine change made him extremely anxious. It's so hard to watch and see...tonight is better though and I'm getting sweet snuggles.
I won't lie... I'm stressed to what feels like my limits. I'm not a forgetful person and in two days I've locked my keys in the cat once and lost them once. I start doing something or saying something and immediately forget what I was doing. It's a bit unnerving. I'm short tempered, snappy, and rude - none of which are my norm. I'm following doctor's orders to help with the subsequent anxiety, and leaning heavily on The Lord.
There are other, extremely personal issues that are weighing heavily on my heart and mind lately as well, but at this point, they shouldn't be shared. Just know that your prayers are welcomed and coveted.
I hate to have made this a pity party post, but this is where I document life, and unfortunately life is not always rosy.
I hope to do some fun things with Kam over the break and post about them as well - I love my life. Sometimes multiple days gang up on and hit me all at once, that's all. ;)
